Chameleon/Chimera won't work with Yosemite yet, required to use Clover, I think there was some sort of of change in the kernel something. If you plan on using Mavericks and Yosemite at the same time, I would recommend getting Clover pinned down and working first before moving on to Yosemite as long as you have Clover working, you'll be fine, it will handle the rest and you can get rid of Chameleon/Chimera when it's working.

Sorry but Chameleon_2.2svn_r2380_CBv2 works very well on yosemite

GPT drives have a special "protective" MBR - see article by Rod Smith: What's a GPT? -so its still there.  Those install settings definitely work as I have installed Clover's boot files in the EFI system partition of both my legacy BIOS (non UEFI) machines.  You'll need to install RC scripts for working NVRAM and iMessage.

 

eg On my desktop GA-P55aUD3/Intel i5-750/ATI 5770

diskutil list

Thank you :) That's what I did yesterday.

I had answer on the Chris1111's topic of Clover Install Yosemite.

 

I recreate the usb drive, letting the partition in GUID, and putting configuration files I done today for my Maverick installation with Clover.

I put the kext you gave e yesterday, mine (Realtek8111 for the LAN, and RealtekALC for audio with injections in config.plist of clover with a modification of dsdt.aml).

I tested quickly to see if it boot, and yes, I arrived at install screen in french this time  :D

 

I return under mavericks to add KextsToPatch for SSD to see if it enable the TRIM.

 

In all case, I learn much today : how patch dsdt.aml, comprehend clover, do function audio card ALC889...

 

Thanks for your advices,

 

 

 

 

The Bios Block option is available in the official Clover release on Sourceforge.  Much of the delay in reaching Clover's main menu on legacy non UEFI machines is due to Clover enumerating USB devices and BiosBlock (if it works) can greatly speed up booting by bypassing this process.

Haaaaa ! That's what I need, I think, if it works.

Currently, I just have Mavericks running with Clover, and I used the latest official version of Clover.

I just have to put the BiosBlock into the EFI partition, but can I extract only the file instead of installing again Clover with this option ??

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very well done!  I gather that iMessages and Trim using @Marchrius's patch are now working :D ?

Yeah :D iMessage works great, but I didn't use the method you gave with the link, I use yours, with iMessage_debug, without using nvram : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298027-guide-aio-guides-for-hackintosh/?p=2040654

And it worked great ! :D

For Trim, on Mavercisk, I use Trim Enabler http://www.cindori.org/software/trimenabler/ and it works well on 10.9.4 :D

 

I haven't yet install (again) Yosemite.

 

 

 

One thing to be wary of in Yosemite DP2-4 (and the public beta) is that the saving of NVRAM.plist on shutdown (necessary for correct functioning of NVRAM on hacks) is broken.  Make sure to run @pokenguyen's workaround in OSX terminal in Yosemite

sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /private/etc/rc.shutdown.d/80.save_nvram_plist.local

 

Ok, noted, but I'm not sure I'm using NVRam...

 

 

 

 

While you're backing up and reformatting drives, you may as well install UEFI Windows through Clover (for best compatibility when dual booting OSX/Windows as recommended by @Pene) :rofl:.

 That's very what I need to do :D

But, can I do it after installing Yosemite ? (because, for some times, I wanted to have only OSX's os on my computer (I have Parallels Desktop for windows), until I want to conserve only Yosemite or only Mavericks.

 

Thanks for all your advices !

It doesn't work with my motherboard, or I cannot find a way to...

That's not important for me as I can use Clover :D

Due to the enormous time it would take, I canceled the TM backup...

 

I was reorganizing my hard drive in order to make a bigger partition for data to OSX, and I just see that I canot rezise the partition containing the data.

/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   2:                  Apple_HFS OSX-SSD                 127.7 GB   disk0s2

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk2

   1:                  Apple_HFS OSX-Data                316.7 GB   disk3s1
/dev/disk4
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk4
   1:               Windows_NTFS STOCKAGE-X              1.0 TB     disk4s1
/dev/disk5
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *2.0 TB     disk5
   1:               Windows_NTFS Series_HDD              2.0 TB     disk5s1

As you can see, the red is my Mavericks Install, with clover (the disk0 is my sad with currently maverick with chameleon, witch is not bootable), and the disk3 is my drive for data.

I had another partition in NTFS on this drive disk3, I deleted it to gain the rest for OSX-Data.

But Acronis Disk Director cannot extend the partition, neither can Disk Utilities OSX...

Dou you know another way than copying OSX-Data with CarbonCopyCloner to another partition, delete OSX-Data, recreate OSXData in GUID mode ?

I am going to install Yosemite.

I have Trim enabled for my Crucial M4, in the installe, because I put in the config.plist the third method posted here : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298507-enable-trim-on-non-apple-ssd/?p=2025739

 

3rd Method

 

 

This is valid only if you use Clover bootloader. Add the KextPatch in config.plist:

<key>KextsToPatch</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Name</key>
				<string>IOAHCIBlockStorage</string>
				<key>Find</key>
				<data>
				AEFQUExFIFNTRAA=
				</data>
				<key>Replace</key>
				<data>
				AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
				</data>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>TRIM Enabler</string>
			</dict>
		</array>

And reboot. No kernelcache to rebuild!

 

It seem to work because I have in the System Information :

Prise en charge de TRIM : Oui

for my Crucial M4.

 

I'll tell you after the install if it still the case.
